A Conversation with Tobin Paxton

In this episode of the Voices of CFMA Podcast, sponsored by Premier Construction Software, Tobin Paxton, co-founder of Miter — CFMA's newest Elite Partner — stops by to discuss how a Thanksgiving payroll run with his bookkeeper mom, a co-founder obsessed with construction accounting, and a series of Bay Area job-site visits sparked the idea for a human capital management and workforce platform now used by 1,500+ contractors daily.

The conversation covers the labor shortage reshaping construction, the "data backbone" problem costing finance teams time and visibility, and how Miter thinks about automation — not as replacing people, but as equipping them. Tobin also talks about what drew Miter to CFMA, what he hopes the Association becomes, and how he's balancing 18 weeks on the road with life as a new dad.
